More done today 90% solid floor now.









After some welding i couldnt make noise with the grinder to do the sill so moved onto some shiny bits.

Looking good, looks like your cracking on there :)

[SAL 821X]

Inner sill is in just need to finish it off.



What came out.


Lots of filler in there.


Made the sill up.


Got some nice welds down.


Finished off.


Need to tidy up the toe board a bit and weld up the gap between the floor and pan.

Should then be ready for some stone chip and paint.

[DugganC17]

good work going on here but how come you have a gap around where the cros member is ?

[SAL 821X]

Much like the other side it was a nasty patchwork quilt so at least now it will look neater.

Looking good mate should have it on its wheels in no time

[minimissions]

Looks good wont be long until your paining the underneath then, it can be rolling again :)

[SAL 821X]

Floor is now solid on both sides!





Now I need some stonechip though.

Also fast running out of gas with both sills and the cross member to go in yet.

There's a vid on YouTube on how to rebuild the box don't know if it will help with the stripping down but surly its just the revers of assembly lol

[SAL 821X]

Cheers Hoody.

 

I have watched Guessworks video on thetube on how to rebuild the box and it just shows him knocking it in.

 

So I thought it would just be the case of knocking it out but it's not moving one bit!!! I need to fit the Centre Oil Pickup pipe you see.

 

Perhaps the illness I've had the past few days has weakened me and I just wasn't hitting it hard enough.

 

I doubt its been out since the gearbox was built.

[hoody99]

Aye maybe its just being a turd and is stuck in there good and proper lol I have no idea about the a series yet lol so this is learning for me lol

[SAL 821X]

Chaps just out of interest.

 

Would some thing like this suit spraying gravitex on the floor?
